This is probably my favorite season, next to summer, for a
couple of reasons. Although the spring
equinox was a couple of days ago, you wouldn’t know it here yet. We’ve had
blustery weather with blowing cold wind and sand. This isn’t the best thing around to
experience but it’s still pleasant most of the time. The new leaves on the trees and the early
blooms are proof the new season is upon us.

And I know when spring arrives that winter is a long way
off. That alone gives me reason to
cheer. I can see things growing
overnight. The new leaves are a soft,
tender green. Later they become darker
and more leathery.
Life goes on with work and everything else that goes with
daily life, so I haven’t had the chance to really relish in it yet. But you can be sure I will. We have had some magnificent sunsets
lately. There’s really nothing like
sunset in the desert.

Today I was demonstrating laundry detergent at work so it
was nice not to have to don the hairnet and gloves. And I could give out samples to people who
were so appreciative that you’d think I just gave them a winning lottery
ticket. It was a fun day even though not
near as busy as handing out food, which I’ll be doing tomorrow. I still made it fun for all of us, I hope,
and ended up selling 39 large bottles of laundry soap in the process. That’s pretty good considering there were
four to five other brands on sale.
Tomorrow I do marina sauce and that promises to be messy and
a lot busier. This job is challenging but a lot of fun. At times like this, I’m glad I can wear black
because I’m sure I’d ruin a white shirt.

On another note we came home to discover the neighbors
renting the property next door dug a large trench next to our wall. They want to put a fence up we’re told. What will go in this fence we don’t know yet
and I’m afraid it will junk up the neighborhood. As it is he works on rebuilding cars in his
spare time. They usually sit everywhere
for weeks at a time. We intend to keep
an eye on this situation. I went out to
take photos of the whole project tonight to send to the property owner, who is
a friend. Of course the wife sticks her
head out the window wanting to know what I’m up to. I was on my property so it was none of her
business, although she sent her husband over later to talk to us about it. I guess we’ll see what comes of this. I really don’t believe a thing they say and
will be glad when they move. Their lease
is up in June.

I guess some of you must face similar dramas during the
course of your own lives.
Have a happy spring everyone. Get out and enjoy this nice
time of year when we don’t need A/C or heat.
It won’t last long.
